Throwback Sunday...

This is such a nostalgic song and the cover is so powerfully sung with extreme catharsis yearn that it left me speehless. I just want to be that voice freeing myself from it all.

A new venture, a new experience

And so I finally put this idea into motion and testing this new media:

Right now I am fiddling with programming content, and not quite sure how it comes out. Enjoy the random music for now.

Throwback thursday: stuffed animals

It's that time of the year when the last garage sales and yard sales of the season are popping up around town. Although there should be a lot of things to let go, it can be emotionally difficult to part with some memento.

An example is a bag of stuffed animals I have been keeping, not using.

Red bear prompts memories of overnight Greyhound bus, uncomfortable Greyhound bus station chairs, and a fun trip with friends who are now all over the world.

January is a cute bear, like its current owner. How can I give her away when I received so much love?

Another personal item, reminder of an era, college friends and places, that is difficult to overlook. What should I do?

Yes it is cute, and it melts my sorrows. It also reminds me of Canada and people close to my heart.

It is a bit cheeky but it has an understated quality to it, making me smile and cringe at the same time. Why have I been keeping it? Do I need another reminder of people I love?

Orange cat unfortunately does not remind me of anything special but he is funny (yes it is male because of the big head). And because it is not associated with any memory it is refreshingly relaxing to have...

Mini panda is so soft and tiny, and my favourite animal so it feels useless to part with it. The benefits of keeping it exceeds the disturbance of keeping it as it does not take much space.

Sleepy is my natural state until 10am. And I associate it with trips to Orlando Disney World and analogue pictures.

Ironically this is the first memory of lemur I have, from seeing lemurs in a zoo in Washington DC. It reminds me that I need to seek and appreciate what I have nearby before looking at things far away.


So when deciding to part with them all, I really feel the lyrics of this song:


I'm torn
I'm all out of faith
This is how I feel
I'm cold and I am chained
Lying naked on the floor
Illusion never changed
Into something real
I'm cold and I am shamed and bound
And broken on the floor
And I can see the perfect sky is torn
You're a little late
I'm already torn


I have 3 days to decide until the next yard sale...I am on an emotional roller-coaster !
